Character name: Maruyama (http://www.admiringgongli.com/gallery/moag/moagstill3.jpg) Chinami (http://www.admiringgongli.com/picz/fotoz37a.jpg)
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Profession: Music conductor, composer, pianist, harpist
Looks: Chinami is what one could call the personificasion of the mysterious Asian beauty. Chinami has a very majestic aura that centres in the piercing intensity of her melancholic eyes. She is uncommonly beautiful, with long glossy black hair to her waist, though sadly she rarely wears it loose, usually having it braided or pinned in different kind of ways. Shes all willowy grace and feminine curves, more than the western world has gotten used to from Asian women. Her face is a softly shaped oval with delicate full lips, a regal nose and almond shaped dark eyes underneath the carefully kept arch of her brows, a face of warm sensuality, serenity and sweetness. She always dressed very classy, as the sophisticated lady she is. Her voice is a soft mezzo-soprano which, with a husky tone to it a result of her many years of smoking.
History: Not much is known about Maruyama Chinami, she is incredible closed about her past. The only thing that is known to the public is that she was born in the Japanese capitol, Tokyo, in 1980, and when fifteen she moved to Paris with her piano teacher and adoptive father, the famous pianist Fancis Basler. There is all a good reason for this, because the young musician wasnt born as Maruyama Chinami, her birth name is in fact Murakami Kaede. However that name has Chinami left behind along side the horrible traumas that belonged to that girl.
Kaede was born in Tokyo, the capitol of Japan, as a daughter to rich and socially high ranked people. Her father was a high class lawyer, Murakami Satomi, who was notoriously known for taking clients with very questionable moral, and it made him rich. Her mother was a model, Aiko, who gave up her job as a model to become the pampered wife of a rich husband. Kaede was no love child; she was more like a fashion accessory to complete the illusion of a perfect family, which it by far was. There could be days between she saw her parents, and she was left with the nanny, Chiyo, who was in fact the one who introduced her to the piano. Chiyos skills were moderate, and it was clear to her, that she would not be a sufficient teacher.
That was only one thing that made the selfish mind of her mother take interest in her daughter: The unnaturally well developed musical intelligence that Kaede possessed. Her mother loved the thought of a having a musical genius for a daughter that she could parade around with in town. As she grew a little older, she also became a very lovely little child, it gave her mother great satisfaction to enlist her daughter in as many music classes as possible and then next drag her off to all the luncheons, dinner and cocktail parties she had with her friends and brag about her little perfect daughter. Though Aiko did one good thing for Kaede, she introduced her to the professional pianist, Francis Basler, who is the most vital person in Kaedes life.
At the age of seven Kaede was betrayed in the worst way possible, her mother, who had the tendency to drink a bit too much, had passed out from the liquor in her bedroom, and her father came to read Kaede a bedtime story. However, the bedtime story turned into a horror story for the little girl as her father raped her. Through lies and manipulation Satomi made his daughter keep quiet about the year long sexual abuse, usually during the abuse, she would think of music, and most of the music which has gotten inspiration from that part of her life deals with disharmony or contra harmonies. Not until she was thirteen Kaede realised fully how wrong what her father had done really was. She broke down, one moment considering killing herself, the other to kill her father. One night when he came into her room to once again take his lusts out on her, Kaede snapped, she reached for the nearest object, a priceless vase and smashed it onto his head. She slammed it down on him repeatedly while she screamed out her hatred towards him, when he slumped to the floor she ran away, horrified, believing she had killed him. She ran into the rainy night, to the only person she really trusted, Francis. He was terrified when his thirteen-year old student showed up on his doorstep in the middle of the night, soaked to the skin, clothes ripped and pale as death.
He let her stay and took care of her, though he knew nothing of how to tackle a severe traumatised teen-ager. However, it didnt take long for Kaede to get filled with a boiling thirst for vengeance, and she reported her father (who is in spite of what she had believed hadnt been killed by the blow she delivered him) and her mother who had know what was going on, but done nothing. She reported them both, her mother was given a minor sentence, while her father got a sentence for thirty years, as Keade also gave information to the police about where they could find the papers about his criminal activities.
On Francis recommendation she changed her name to go free of the, a piece of advice she gladly followed, as she wanted nothing that tied her to her parents. She changed it to Chinami, meaning a thousand waves and she took her nannys surname, Murayama, as it was a very common one. She had been having the naïve illusion that everything would be alright when she had gotten her revenge over her parents, but it is far from it, still today shes haunted by her memories of that time. However, she tried for it to get as normal as possible. Already at fifteen she was an exquisite beauty and at her school the two year older Haruki fell dreadfully in love with her. He adored her, and she cared greatly for him, but the things she had been through had left her intimately cold. She had sex with Haruki, as it was the only intimacy she knew about, but it made her feel disgusting, and when he tried to reach out to her emotionally she blocked him out. She ended up breaking his heart, today she sees this as one of the most horrible things she has ever conducted. She wrote off sexual activity after her relationship with Haruki, as it had caused her nothing but misery, and isolated her from other people. It also spiralled her into a depression so deep that Francis began to fear for her health.
Francis was to leave for his homeland France, but the isolating behaviour Chinami had begun to show worried him, and therefore he encouraged her to move to Paris with him. Depressed she didnt really care for where she was, so she consented. In Paris he persuaded her to attend a therapist, and Chinami has consequently been in therapy on and off for the last ten years.
Francis helped her find the proper school for her, as she as sixteen were still too young to attend the conservatory. She came to stay in the dorms of a large school which specialised in children who were to study at the conservatory afterwards. She continued to play the piano and the harp and where educated further in music theory. At eighteen Francis adopted her, deciding it was time he got it declared how important Chinami was to him, they were like father and daughter in every way, except by blood.
When she graduated she was already rumoured to be one of the best young musician you could find in Europe. Though she chose to travel to America and educate herself to a music conductor while playing concertos there. Her interpretations with Beethovens sonatas, and her Chopin concertos became very famous in the states. Also she performed some of her own compositions which received praising as some of the most beautiful classic music created in decades. She mixed her Japanese heritage into the European classic music. Returning to France she was a famous musician and newly graduated music conductor, and she was hired as the new music conductor in the Parisian opera house, in which she had spend much time as a teen-ager. Now eager to tackle her job she is full of hope for the future.
Personality: Chinami is a very strong minded and independent woman; she rarely relies on anyone, but herself. She isnt very comfortable about physical intimacy, whether its friendly or sexual. She can easily seem cold and even faintly uptight at first hand, but in spite of the cool exterior she is rarely unfriendly towards anyone, but it doesn't take an awfully much to provoke her. It is difficult to gain her trust; as she has been burned quite painfully through time. In music she unfolds everything she cannot reveal, She is very good at staying in charge and maintaining her overview, but she has an absolutely dreadful temper, though you wouldnt think it because of the chilled and sophisticated façade.
Others:
Chinami speaks English, Japanese, German and French
She is a smoker
Chinami plays the piano and the harp, but she also plays a selection of traditional Japanese instruments
